Can I just say that my week is getting better and better?
Turns out that The Arcade Fire is opening for U2 in Ottawa…originally they were not.
EXCELLENT! I am pumped.
In other news David Bowie and the Arcade Fire have teamed up for an EP release.
Dang…only available on iTunes. I may have to finally buy something off of that horrid site.

Excellent find by Krista!
Gearing up the concert on Friday, I decided to pop my new purchase into my DVD player. Can’t hurt to listen to a little U2 in some sweet surround sound.
I bought this last week and previewed a few tracks at Vero’s (where I discovered that U2 may or may not be a liked band by her. I have to introduce her to the Joshua Tree.) and I must admit I was disappointed. The band seemed to just stand there, no energy whatsoever…almost like they were starting to become…old.
I decided to give them the benefit of the doubt and watch it from the beginning. So far, I watched 1/2 the concert and all my fears have been dismissed. The experience which is U2 is still evident in the Vertigo tour (at least, from the DVD) and I was in awe watching it. If you like tour dvd’s, I would say pick this one up. So far, it’s great. I must admit I think the Elevation Tour DVD may be a little better, but I haven’t watched the whole thing yet.
